Universal fluctuations in noisy biological time-keeping

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk, I shall discuss the scalings of fluctuations in cellular time-keeping, by considering the specific example of fluctuations in cell cycle durations, and how they are informed by fluctuations in cell growth. I will make connections to our observations of stochastic growth and division in single C. crescentus cells, made under different experimental conditions.
